I just liked how this one turned out and thought I would share. FYI I used Adobe Photoshop, Channel Mixer to create the BW. I then made an empty layer and used a brush on the color. I then set the layer on "Overlay".

Nicely done Suzanne, I'm assuming you painted with black and white since the final photo is black and white (or is the colored one missing?)

I will have to try your technique to fix some of the washed out photos I have been trying to restore.

Nicely done. Margaret

The colored photograph is on the end. The black and white is in the middle. Interesting idea about painting in black and white though, but I did paint in color. But when you place the layer on "overlay" it blends the color in and makes it look more natural. Also, I did not color the entire image, just the boy, the dog, and the grass.
